 | When Emilio Pucci scribbled his signature across his designs, it marked the debut of a designer’s name as an external logo. But Pucci wasn’t content to just make dresses. His designs included the now famous Braniff International Airlines uniforms, the logo for the Apollo 15 space mission, tableware for Rosenthal, and even the interior of a Ford Lincoln Continental! Now vintage designs by this “Prince of Prints” are legendary and forever popular because they make any girl feel like a “Princess of Prints.” Whether its for day or evening, no one rocks bold, brightly colored graphics better than this CFDA award winner and this fabulous little collection of vintage Pucci frocks shows off his genius. They’re all perfect finds for vintage fashionistas! Just click the slide show to see the selection. |
Checking in with artists David Shrigley,
Douglas Gordon, Sylvie Fleury and
Hung Tung Lu in Stockholm, Sweden, this video takes a look at Absolut Vodka’s longstanding history of creative collaboration. As guests of Absolut invited to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their substantial (upwards of 800 pieces) art collection, we also visit an installation of artists’ work for the brand and a celebration.
Earlier, we spotted RAW COLOR‘s first project at the Dutch Design Week 2007. The project 100%JUICE demonstrated the power of natural color by extracting “natural ink” from vegetables.
Today, it’s worth checking out RAW COLOR No.1, 2 and 3 which demonstrates their continued visual research on vegetables and examination of their internal structures. One of the results is a natural color map categorizing the diversity of vegetables by shades and families.
RAW COLOR is a cooperation between designers Christoph Brach & Daniera ter Haar and demonstrates the often unnoticed beauty of our everyday veggies.

Get a Mac! We’re not talking about the computer, we mean the ridiculously hot motorcycle designs by TriBeCa-based Carefully Considered, which sounds like an NPR talk show but is in fact a design firm, or a collective, or a consultancy. It’s not really clear. Their self-description says “Carefully Considered is an army of one or as tailored as a project requires, with a movable staff of five designers, production artists and thinking folk.” But whatever they are, you can check out more of their work here.

SDWorks is a commercial platform attached to Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s School of Design, with two professors from that school having set the operation up in 2007. Writes Bernat Cuni, a Mediterranean designer based in Hong Kong and affiliated with the school,
SDWorks looks for cool and nice ideas from students, refines them, put them into production and sells the products. Then, the benefits are shared among the student, tutor and university. It is good, a fair way to bring to life the product ideas that are being generated within the school.
…The design and development is done within the university facilities, enriched by its staff’s expertise, while the production and sales is powered by the University’s network of quality suppliers and professionals.
Their latest project chosen for production is third-year student Cheuk Kee Lai’s cool LED Mirror Watch, the surface of which is an ordinary mirror that reveals the time when the user presses a button. (The designer noticed that the need to wear a watch was diminishing, as everyone now carries time-telling cell phones, and thus came up with the additional functionality of a mirror.) Check it out:
The Mirror Watch recently took Silver in the 2009 Spark Awards and won a 2009 China’s Most Successful Design Award. Next up: It’s going on sale, to be launched next week at Detour, Hong Kong’s Business of Design Week outreach program.
thanks bernat!
One more thing about Boeing’s Dreamliner, which is fascinating from a manufacturing perspective: Rather than produce the behemoth at a single plant, Boeing has spread component production out over no less than nine countries (the U.S., the U.K., Canada, France, Italy, Russia, Japan, Australia, and India) with final assembly done Stateside. So how do they get the gi-normous, partially-finished fuselage from Nagoya, Japan to Charleston, South Carolina and then Everett, Washington? By using these beasts:
Those are what Boeing is calling “Dreamlifters,” heavily modified 747s purchased from China that have a volume of 65,000 cubic feet. They’re seven stories high and swallow more than 52,000 gallons of fuel in their tanks.
Boeing has stated that the Dreamlifters were made purely for transporting Dreamliners and that they will not be manufacturing any for sale. Which is too bad, because you just know that somewhere some oil sheik is looking at this thing going “I have to have one of these! I must!”

Pure, straight up comedy, especially since it’s the mirror image of dance festivities at an actual rave – sans glow sticks and illegal drugs, of course.
